Defining Global Citizenship: From Philantropy To Activism
Another great session at World Economic Forum dealt with Public Private Partnership, civic engagement, hybrid organizations between profit and non prfoft, and strategic community engagement of companies. Participating too Queen Rania and Carly Fiorina:

Session with Queen Rania and Carly Fiorina
Especially Carly Fiorina former HP CEO -impressed me again. Tom Peters said something about her and her follower at HP which is on spot:
Enough, for Gods Sake, of the Hurd mentality
"Carly poured heart and soul and guts and reputation into pushing the merger, including overcoming the shameful tactics of Hewlett Jr and Packard Jr. If HP is the "biggest guy on the block" in 2007, benefiting from PC sales, the "first 98%" of the credit goes to Fiorina, not Hurd. PERIOD."
I Like a quote from Carly from a speech in 2005, found at her homepage:
http://www.carlyfiorina.com/
When people have stereotypes of what you can't do, show them what you can do. When they have stereotypes of what you won't do, show them what you will do. Every time you resist someone else's smaller notion of who you really are, you test your courage and your endurance. Each time you endure, and stay true to yourself, you become stronger and better."
-from a speech by Carly Fiorina, May 2005
Queen Rania, Carly Fiorina, Elza Maalouf.....all these women exemplify a power to reckon with. And I see them together in this time space event called World Economic Forum on Middle East.
The emergence of women power and women leadership in Middle East is a great meme.
And asset of evolutionary leadership. To create new womens rights and significant progress in society, culture , families and workplace of the Arab world is a top priority.

She is now leading a foundation and its good to know hat Queen Rania and Carly Fiorina expressed much appreciation to the project I am involved in. And in personal contact to chancellor/founder too.
As the World Economic Forum closed with call for education and responsibility for next generation too. The Emirates College of Media Arts and Sciences is and will be prototyping significant moves towards the knowlwedge economy, media evolution and education in the GCC Region. Embedded in deep understanding and worldclass excellence of Media Education for the Arab world in general. WE had a request from Jordan already to expand campus options there. But one step at a time:):)much operational and adminstrative stuff to do…..
this years Forum was nearer than ever before to the in depth understanding of the transformational dynamics in this region. Shame on CNN and German speaking/writing press that no single article was mentioned in the Media Coverage of this Forum. Whereas bombing and trouble making -was in the spotlight as always….
